The most logical reason is so that people who buy the laptop to run windows don't break their laptops when they go messing around in the bios. There are tons of options in the BIOS that are not always exposed to the end user. If you need one of those option, then buy the system that gives it to you.

This only works in Libertarian utopia. In the real world the folks who didn't bother to save or buy insurance get pissy and cause massive social unrest.

I've thought for a long time that maybe there was a place for someone who's more than a nurse but less than a doctor. But the politics of that industry gives politics a bad name. It'd be the demarcation dispute to end them all.

They stay blue forever in 2p mode.

Argg, there is no such thing as a default windows password.

FYI: There is no default windows password.

Since they point out the need to buy a mattress when Chinese don't even use mattresses I would say this report is suspect.

Really? Never seen that, all the info I have seen says to BF ASAP.

The point of the ad was "holy shit, Bing is actually getting some traction, better start reminding people to use google."

Wow, this is a new argument I haven't heard.

I don't see how people who elect premium heathcare plans are penalized? The general idea is everyone is provided a base level of healthcare, if you want more you can buy it, the premium should just be the cost over and above the baseline.

Young people have equal consideration, everyone gets the same base level of care. doesn't matter if they necessarily need it. Keeping the populace healthy is not really "free" stuff. It is pretty essential to a functioning society.

You can implement the mandate by adding a tax. Congress has the power to levy tax to "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States"

General Welfare clause is Article 1 Section 8, not the preamble.

General Welfare clause is a perfectly reasonable justification to the constitutionality of federally run healthcare.

Someone went out and tested this themselves with a Lexus ES350 which is the car that was involved in the fatal crash due to stuck accelerator. You CAN stop the car, but you only get one chance, if you let up on the brake and try again your braking power is dramatically reduced. If you do it a third time you have no brakes. The brake fade to nothing.

This is most likely what happened in that crash, the driver noticed the car accelerating, braked to slow down to 70 then let off, it happened again, braked then let off at 70. Then the panic set in, he probably had little braking power left at that point.
